H Janardhan Reddy, a 35-year-old carrom player from Visakhapatnam, has ended Andhra Pradesh's 66-year wait for a national carrom title by winning the 29th All India Federation Carrom Championship held in Nellore from January 5 to 8. The last title for the State was won by P Apparao in 1959.
Janardhan, born to CH Sairam Reddy, a daily labourer, and CH Mani, a homemaker, drew inspiration from his father's love for carrom. "Watching my father play sparked my interest as a child. My parents have always supported me in every step of my journey," he said.
